Could this Vegan Pizza Stop Heart Disease, Cancer and Altzhiemers?
Domino’s Now Offers Vegan Pizza In Israel
The world's favourite food just went vegan. Well not strictly true - we do have vegan pizzas in the shops.
V Bites make one and if you take your own dairy free / vegan cheese into PizzaExpress they'll usually oblige with a vegan version of whatever you like (just don't expect a discount for supplying your own ingredients)
But it just goes to show that if enough people stand up at once and ask then anything can happen.
Dairy is implicated implicated in a number of chronic health problems and conditions so an alternative Dairy Free pizza made with vegan cheese seems a no brainer.
Whilst Dominos in the USA and UK continue to ignore our pleas for a vegan pizza in Israel they are 'whey' ahead of us. Due to popular demand there is now a vegan pizza in Israel.
Want one here in the UK ? or USA? - make a fuss and get your friends to do the same.

Archaeology - How Humans Mutated To Tolerate Milk
From http://www.nature.com/news/archaeology-the-milk-revolution-1.13471
It's not natural to drink the milk of another species. Europeans genetically mutated to tolerate cows milk - most of the world still gets diarrhea if they drink it.
Archaeologists unravel the history of milk drinking and plot the gradual genetic mutation of Northern Europe

Microsoft's Bill Gates Gets Behind Vegan Eggs
No, it's not another of our April fool jokes! Microsoft's Bill Gates and Paypal's Peter Thiel really are plugging Vegan Eggs
Here's what the Daily Mail said;
"MailOnline was able to try two of Hampton Creek’s products - its mayonnaise, and cookies made using its baking product.
The results were surprising, if a little anticlimactic. Both tasted exactly as you would expect - and are indistinguishable from products made with real egg.
The chocolate chip cookies we tried were excellent - crumbly, moist and with a feel in the mouth identical to a normal cookie. Crucially, they also look identical to a normal cookie - despite containing no egg.
Hampton Creek’s ‘Beyond Egg’ mayonnaise was also extremely similar to ‘normal’ mayo - and after trying it out on a few friends, some even preferred to to normal mayonnaise."

UK Comedy? Banned Joke Poster for London Vegfest UK
At this years Vegfest UK in London at Kensington Olympia Exhibition Centre on October 5th and 6th there will be a lot of comedy in addition to the usual workshops, music, cookery demos, films, Yoga, and foodtasting. To highlight the comedy a series of 'jokes in the style of' were released.
This one didn't make it and ended up in the bin.What you you think? Is it a step too far? Is it rascist? or is it just hysterically funny? Is it in bad taste? Was it rightfully censored? or should it go viral?
Here's some of the others that made it onto the VegfestUK Facebook Page.

Whoops! Did David Cameron Just Insult Vegans?
Sketch: G8 + PM? You do the math - Telegraph
UK Prime Minister David Cameron joked as he informed the House that "a shopkeeper in Enniskillen had been disappointed at the dearth of G8 protestors, as he’d stocked up specially on vegan meals. Now there's lots of vegan food going spare". (what? vegetables?)
Might have got away with that had he not followed it with "All the leaders in the G8 had signed an agreement declaring that they would never pay ransoms to terrorists."
Wonder what Bill Clinton will say about the inference that vegans are terrorists.

Research Begins to Find Out Exactly Why Meat is Bad for Health
Vegetarians May Live Longer Than Meat Eaters, Research Finds | TIME.com
Time Magazine reports research and studies in JAMA Internal Medicine Journal that explain why Vegetarians and Vegans are healthier than those people that eat meat.
In their desperate attempts to find the compounds in meat that are killing millions of Americans and British people every year scientists have found that it's not just the saturated animal fat that is the problem.
It seems there are a host of microbes and chemicals in meat designed to attack the fabric of human existence.Your body can cope them for a while but it seems to explain why American Footballers and cavemen don't live that long - if you want to duck out of old age and dodge getting lumbered with the grand children then eat lots of meat.
If on the other hand you want to live long and prosper then eat your vegetables. That's the thing that's always confounded the researchers before. People who eat less meat tend to eat more vegetables. It's true that eating more vegetables has a protective effect but now scientists can seperate factors like smoking, drinking alcohol, exercise, type of meat, dairy, vegetable consumption, and account for a host of other factors researchers can now pinpoint from the data which elements are the most dangerous.
Excercise is important, not smoking is important, not drinking alcohol is important but it seems that even a junkfood eating, lazy, pot smoking, alcoholic vegan can hang in there with an average North American cheese burger munching milkshake guzzling beefcake.
Scientists had hoped they would find the secret X Factor in meat that's got the talent to kill us early so they could neutralise it, genetically engineer it out of cloned pigs and carry on feeding people cheap meat without killing off their customer base. The meat industry have had various brainwaves, such as infusing beef with rare berries and smearing meat with mashed up maggots but all ideas so far have proved either too expensive or too yucky for US consumers.
In the study reported in Time Magazine it showed vegetarians reduced risk of early death by 12% and with vegans the stats were even better. As Colin T Campbell's research has shown for many years cheese is almost as dangerous as meat. His studies detailed in The China Study suggest cheese and dairy is like fertiliser for cancer cells.

Is Vegan Pizza The Recipe to Turn UK to Vegan Diet
Vegan Pizza Recipe Will Turn UK to Healthy Vegan Diet
What do you think?
If Dominos Pizza Chain went Vegan would people just give and say " OK I give in , that's it ! , you win, I've run out of excuses, I'm going Vegan!"
Would they?
Really?
For many people it's true. Excuses are quite frequently I would if I could but I can't - it's too boring/difficult/leftfield (delete/insert as appropriate)
Maybe pizza could be the catalyst. maybe it's true that if there were a vegan pizza waiting for you to just pick up the phone during the adverts on TV and then wait for a spotty youth on a moped to run over your daffodils and bang on your door before the free pizza delivery time limit is up.
Ask your omnivourous friends please. Is it really that simple? If it is then I'm on the case next week
Let me know!

Dr. Oz Mark Bitman vegan until 6 pm VB6 Vegan Diet
Dr. Oz reveals how to improve your health by going vegan until 6 pm - National Holistic Health | Examiner.com
I just wonder how long it will take these journalists to work out that if you go vegan all the time your body will really thank you for it. Do they think that their body won't notice if they stuff it full of foods that increase their risk of cancer and diabetes after 6 pm?
Surely it's just like saying I only smoke after 6 o'clock or I only drink Vodka after 6PM ?
Granted it's better than smoking all the time all day long, drinking whisky for breakfast, eating bacon for breakfast and burgers and steaks for lunch but seriously.
Yes going vegan some of the time is better than not going vegan at all.
But if you really want to see a difference in your health and reduce your risk of disease try this book
The Ultimate Book of Vegan Cooking
RRP is £11.99.
